Building Go Web Applications on Google Cloud

Abstract

Cloud computing is changing the way scalable applications are developed and run. Cloud computing allows you to fully focus on application engineering instead of managing the IT infrastructure. Developing Go applications on the Cloud infrastructure is a great choice because Go is the language designed for running on modern computer hardware and next-generation IT infrastructure platforms. Go is built to solve large-scale computing problems, and it is becoming the language of choice for building Cloud infrastructure technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes. This chapter shows you how to build Cloud native applications using Go by leveraging the Google Cloud platform.
